Rosalyn, I've written a number of scripts of this nature. Here's a quick one I wrote recently to add DAOs to our AT for an audio digitization project (note it does not include file versions, just Components, Instances and DAOs). It starts at the ResourceComponent identified by the long at the top of the script. The resourceId is also hard-coded in a number of places. I've got some tidier Java that runs as part of a automated process for a large digitization project, but all the basic Inserts are in this: https://github.com/yalemssa/ATK_DAO_Scripts/blob/master/components_atk.groovy

I have a large quantity (around 300+) of digital objects that I need to add to Archivists' Toolkit. I think I've figured out what queries I need to run in order to do this in MySQL (rather than the interface) but I wanted to get opinions from the peanut gallery before trying it out on my test instance. It seems that there are actually two update queries that need to be used when creating a Digital Object. They are: insert into ArchDescriptionInstances (instanceType, resourceComponentId, resourceId, parentResourceId, instanceDescriminator, archDescriptionInstancesId) values ('Digital object', 336673, null, 543, 'digital', 22567003) and... insert into DigitalObjects (version, lastUpdated, created, lastUpdatedBy, createdBy, title, dateExpression, dateBegin, dateEnd, languageCode, restrictionsApply, eadDaoActuate, eadDaoShow, metsIdentifier, objectType, label, objectOrder, componentId, parentDigitalObjectId, archDescriptionInstancesId, repositoryId) values (0, '2012-04-17 12:05:15', '2012-04-17 12:05:15', 'username', 'username', 'title', '1938-1959', null, null, '', 0, 'onRequest', 'new', '678.1829', 'text', '', 0, '', null, 22567003, 1) There also appears to be some update queries as well, but I'm guessing that they are less important (please correct me if I'm wrong). Has anyone tried to do this in the past? If so do you have scripts that will create Digital Objects for you that you wouldn't mind sharing? Is there anything you think I should know before testing this out in my test instance of AT? Any caveats for me? Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rosalyn
